Grab a Hankie: Paul Walker Secretly Bought a $9,000 Engagement Ring for a Military Couple

I know we're all being inundated with "Paul Walker was such an amazing guy" stories right now, but I just HAVE to share this: In 2004, Paul met Kyle and Kristen Upham in a jewelry store. The couple married before Kyle was deployed to Iraq and upon his return went to the jewelry store to buy an engagement ring—but they left the store without Kristen's dream ring, which was out of their budget. The didn't get far, however, before a store employee flagged them down and handed them the ring, which Paul Walker had secretly bought for them.

The generosity is so over-the-top amazing that I literally didn't believe it when the store clerk came forward with the story. But now we have a bride and groom (still married—yay!) and a gift receipt—and I feel like a cynical jerk.
